Preservation of meaning is the only meaningful preservation

James David Wenn

Welcome to BYRGA GENIHT

Interpretation

Our consultant, James D. Wenn is the leading expert in the interpretation of architecture, gardens, and art in stately buildings. We can produce reports on the cultural significance of an estate and explain in full detail the meaning behind its cultural assets.

We are experienced in presenting our research to both public and private audiences. We can provide lectures on a specific estate, or on our work in the history of English architecture more generally. We also have an exhibition of contemporary art relating to the geometry underpinning English architecture, which is available for events.

Public Engagement

Advice on Public Relations

James can provide written or verbal advice on how best to manage cultural assets, whether that is for a strategic direction, or for public outreach and engagement. Each solution is tailor-made to the location in question, and considers everything the site has to offer.

The Future

Over the course of the 20th century, England has lost touch with its cultural traditions. BYRGA GENIHT aims to reconnect the public with these traditions through contemporary celebrations, the creation of new art, education, and by forming connections between sites.
